Titel:
Prognostic value of gamma-glutamyl transferase in patients with diabetes mellitus and coronary artery disease.
Abstract:
The aim of the study was to investigate the association between gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT) activity and mortality in patients with diabetes mellitus and coronary artery disease (CAD).The study included 1448 patients with diabetes and angiography-proven CAD who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Baseline GGT measurements were available in all patients. The primary outcome was 3-year mortality.Patients were divided into 3 groups: a group consisting of patients with a GGT activity in the 1st tertile (GGT<=29.4U/L; n=487), a group consisting of patients with a GGT activity in the 2nd tertile (GGT>29.4-52.5U/L; n=479) and a group consisting of patients with GGT in the 3rd tertile (GGT>52.5U/L; n=482). Overall, there were 179 deaths: 46 (11.9%), 49 (12.1%) and 84 deaths (21.4%) among patients of the 1st, 2nd and 3rd GGT tertiles, respectively (adjusted hazard ratio [HR]=1.25, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.05-1.49, P=0.011). Cardiac death occurred in 101 patients: 22 (5.8%), 30 (7.2%) and 49 deaths (12.9%) among patients of the 1st, 2nd and 3rd GGT tertiles, respectively (adjusted HR=1.23 [0.96-1.58], P=0.104, with risk estimates calculated per standard deviation increase in the logarithmic scale of GGT). GGT improved the risk prediction of models of all-cause (P=0.020) but not cardiac (P=0.135) mortality (P values show the difference in C-statistics between the models without and with GGT).In patients with diabetes and CAD treated with PCI, elevated GGT was independently associated with the risk of 3-year all-cause mortality.
